John; You got further than I could. After about 5 sec I declared the film unwatchable. They could take acting lessons from porn stars for a marked improvement :) I’d much rather watch an intro to a Star Wars video game than this film.

Cayman; The AP has a THD drop down in the Analog Analyzer. For SNR there are quickset files and you can also do them manually. Check out their website at: http://www.audioprecision.com They also have a training DVD which I will be using shortly to expand my knowledge base. AP by far...

The reality is only the woofers/midrange require some break in time which varies based on the actual design. Typically 10-20hrs of playback will do it or a few weeks depending on how often you listen.

Hmm, pretty cables or a new Denon AVR-5805. Pick one ;) Sorry I couldn't resist.

I would be cautious about power conditioners that are not UL approved. Many of the esoteric ones actually cause worse turn on transients and can even amplify surges. Very few companies offer UL approved and PART 68 approved power conditioners. Just like with cables, the price isn't always an...

We did warn them several times and offered very afforable marketing solutions on our site, but they instead chose to solicit their company freely on our forums. If we allow companies to freely do this on our site with no support to us, then we would quickly be out of business or would have to...

In your situation yes. Start at around 80Hz and work your way down if its too overpowering at the region they overlap. I suspect 50Hz extension is more like -10dB point of your pinnacles than -3dB especially when playing at high volume levels.

Sleestack; Go with the Infinity given the two choices. I recommend connecting the sub speaker level in parallel with your main speakers and running them full range. Depending on the range of your Pinnacles (model#?), try setting your sub within 20-40Hz above its rated -3dB point.

Sleestack; In the $500 and under category, you should consider the AV123 ULW-10 (review coming soon). It does a fine job for music and its auto setup feature is quite useful.

I thought we would give our forum readers a sneak peek at a subwoofer review we did for Velodyne. Velodyne DPS-10 Review

Thats not entirely accurate. You can't just go by speaker impedance, but efficiency as well. In many cases a 90dB SPL @ 1 watt efficient 4 ohm speaker is an easier load than an 8 ohm 87 dB SPL @ 1 watt speaker to drive. You also have to look at the impedance/phase profile for the speaker...

Haha, when I was a child a couple of my brothers owned the big Criterios 2002+. Watching those woofers pumping was what got me into this hobby. I remember finding smell of those speakers intoxicating (the paper drivers actually) when I walked into their room. Nothing gave me a bigger kick...

I will probably head up a review of the DVD-2500 in a few months or have Ray do it. I will let ya know.

You can have the subwoofer on in pure direct even if the mains are set large if you go into the Bass Management menu and select "LFE + Main".

I always said they should come out with a Star Trek Playboy series, I mean come on, 6 of 9 (opps I mean 7 of 9), Ta-pul, Yar, Counselor Troy, Dax, etc :) The battle scenes of DS9 are unmatched IMO, as is the dialog of Sisko during war situations, Garak, etc. Voyager / Borg conflicts also...

Amen to that. And I am sick of the shields either not working or being raised during a fight. On the other hand, the Defiant kicked a lot of butt wouldn't you agree? RE: Enterprise I thought Seasons 3-4 were very good and better than the first season or two of Generations, Deep Space 9...

Threshold of damage is a function of SPL and Duration and frequency of exposure. Here are a few charts: http://www.abelard.org/hear/hear.htm http://www.headwize.com/articles/hearing_art.htm

its not a filter for a bad word. The problem is some of their employees were soliciting their company on our site without being a paid sponsor.

I think we forgot to list we. We are doing EP500 & 600's, but waiting on review samples. Thanks for pointing it out.

I don't think that would be advisable since the room actually causes a bump in bass to begin with and a natural roll off in highs is actually more pleasing to the ear.
